Testimonies

The people who carry our words

There’s something really magical about Gabriel. He’s the person who is imagining what the what is, and then creating something that’s just so beautiful.

Serena Oberstein, Los Angeles, CA
I still am amazed how you guys could just extrapolate that from my mind and my heart and my soul, and be able to translate what I knew but was having trouble verbally conveying.

Abrah Zion, New Bedford, MA
The process has always felt like a collaboration… the whole process has really made me appreciate an artist’s work, how their influence, their creativity, and their vision goes into designing a piece together.

Yaniv Brener, Oakland, CA
When I saw it, it didn’t just look like a tree. It actually looked like a woman stretching her hands out. It’s like me as a tattoo.

Eliana Leader, Atlanta, GA
I didn't simply get a tattoo designed. I commissioned a bespoke piece of art that reflects our story.

Jez Hoffman, London, UK
I am not a deeply spiritual person, but this has been a deeply spiritual experience for me.

Jonathan Modest, Boston, MA
I’m forever grateful for the whole team over there for the way that I was cared for, continue to be cared for and cradled in this experience in a very loving way.

Josh Tabin, Houston, TX
It felt held really well. That’s what you guys are truly offering. Depth, meaning. I’m like, wow, what a gift.

Avi Zadaka, Boulder, CO
Gabriel is not just an artist to me. He’s just someone who sees things that a lot of people don’t see. So I found it to be a magical experience.

Ori Shinar, Westchester, NY
I told my wife after the first video call with Gabriel, I said I got really choked up. I was almost in tears because I was so just touched by the process.

David Winn, Portland, OR
It’s been life changing in a really positive way. So thank you for everything.

Jen Josephs, Tarrytown, NY
I felt really heard and seen… he was paying attention. People don’t know how to pay attention, but it was clear that he knew how to pay attention. So I felt very held by him.

Shari Levine, Portland, OR
I love how Gabriel talks to you to see who you are and to then translate that into the piece… and it came out beautifully.

Jeremiah Jarmin, Scottsdale, AZ
Anybody can translate somebody’s feelings, but to have the knowledge of how it relates to Judaism and different quotes and things. That’s where your value is. That’s something not everybody can do.

Donna Kaufman, New Jersey
The amount that I felt cared for during the whole process, and really heard. It made it feel very worthwhile and meaningful and respected in a way I certainly haven’t had with other tattoos.

Joe Badion, New York, NY
The whole process from start to finish was amazing… I mean, you guys are amazing. Aleks was exceptionally talented.

Tommer Shalom, Miami, FL
The whole experience from beginning to end was awesome… my feedback is, if there was a grade, you’d get 101.

I just looked at it, and was just like, holy, this is beautiful. I’m just blown away by it… it’s so stunning, and I couldn’t be more excited.

When I think of Gabriel, I have this incredibly warm feeling. Just an enormous empathy, an enormous creative energy that’s effervescent and embracing.

This is not a tattoo. This is a commissioned piece of art. And it truly reflects me and my inner being.

Seeing the idea come to life finally was like a really, really beautiful moment to be able to just sit in and appreciate that.

The process itself was beautiful and meaningful, and then to end up with a piece of living artwork is just amazing.

Laura Cohen, Portland, OR
The process you guys went through couldn’t be more thoughtful and thorough and personal too, which is impressive given how far away you guys all are physicall. I would recommend you guys and Georgia to literally anyone who asks.

Josh Penzner, Chapel Hill, NC
I love it. It’s great. I talked about the process and how it was a meaningful experience for me. And my tattooist thought it was almost spiritual.

Georgia was a dream to work with.

Jeff Stern, New York, NY
When Anna wrote me the final phrase, it was even better than I thought… it’s exactly what I expected.

Given the art and his ability to put that together, I really love the way it came out… there’s no buyer’s remorse.

Dvir Frumkin, Near St. Paul, MN
I found the whole process to be really, really enriching, and it really solidified what I was thinking and why and what I wanted.

Lior Carver, Amsterdam, Netherlands
The whole experience of Georgia actually inking it on my arm, I found to be profoundly meditative, very peaceful and extremely embodied for me. I felt like we were all in this meditative flow state, and she was just crushing it.

Joshua Vogelstein, Baltimore, MD
It’s been a delight working with you all, and I really appreciate the art.

Faye Joseph, Washington, DC
It was clear that it was very important to you guys that this be a meaningful experience for me, and that’s what you were intentionally trying to set up from the first interaction.

Danny Glaser, Washington, DC
I was really impressed with his ability to engage in conversation. He just started asking the right questions, and I thought he was really intuitive. The art that I received somehow captured the essence of me.

Anthony Schroeder, Vancouver, WA
What really stood out to me is the attention to detail and the level of care and wanting to really dig into my story… it was just a really great back and forth.

Gabe Goldberg, Chicago, IL
Maya, you're incredibly talented at managing a project… all of the handoffs went incredibly smoothly. That doesn’t always happen.

Jaeson Kaplan, San Diego, CA
It was great, everyone was super helpful… they made it seem so easy, and they kind of knew how to take my non-artistic idea and make it into art.

Adam Wolf, Huntington, NY
You guys took care of every detail from the very beginning, which I love. The attention to detail from every single person I spoke with along the way, it makes you feel comfortable, it makes you feel taken care of.

Martin Labazevitch, Washington, DC
I loved that I could see that regardless of what the individual client’s desire was, the same amount of care and interest and style was offered.

Justin Fair, Baltimore, MD
It was really cathartic, and just really what I needed… I felt really heard and understood.

Tracey Stern, Toronto, Canada
It felt a lot more organic… it felt a lot more personal, I think, is the bottom line.

Steven Shelden, Kalamazoo, MI
The fact that you guys brought in the whole idea of the meaning behind it, the translation, and the art piece altogether is very unusual and very unique.

Lev Girshfeld, Bay Area, CA
I really appreciated the fact that he took something very personal and kept that concept for the client, but added his own personal touch.

Lauren Aunkst, Denver, CO
Anna helped bring out some nuance of the tattoo… it really felt like a collaboration.

That conversation with Gabriel was really powerful, because he was interested in me as a person. And that means a lot. The piece is individual, it’s unique to me, to my journey, to my story.

Howard Tello, Milton-Freewater, OR
It’s its own fingerprint, right, just as unique culturally as we are.

It’s a very exclusive type of feeling to have somebody design your work with that much care and thought.
